In 1989 a car accident left him permanently disabled. According to Bruckner\u2019s lawsuit, his business \u201ccan fulfill transportation and infrastructure-related contracts, including those contracts available under the Infrastructure Act.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But because of Bruckner\u2019s race and sex, his company is ineligible to compete for more than $37 billion worth of infrastructure contracts. <\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, in the $1.2 trillion infrastructure act passed in November, Congress \u201cauthorized $370 billion in new spending for roads, bridges, and other surface transportation projects. But Congress also implemented a set aside, or quota, requiring that at least 10% of these funds be reserved for certain \u2018disadvantaged\u2019 small businesses.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf \u2026 President Biden really wants to help disadvantaged small business owners, then he should help new businesses struggling to survive or small business owners who have a disability like me,\u201d Bruckner <a href=\"https:\/\/will-law.org\/bruckner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> in a press release. \u201cBut helping groups based on race and gender is never fair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, alleges that this quota violates the Fifth Amendment\u2019s guarantee of due process by denying Bruckner the equal protection of the law. Bruckner is suing President Joe Biden, White House Senior Advisor and Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator Mitchell Landrieu, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. <\/p>\n<p>In the legal complaint, Bruckner asks the court for a preliminary injunction \u201cremoving all unconstitutional race and gender-based classification\u201d from the infrastructure act, as well as a declaration that such quotas are unconstitutional and a permanent ban on their implementation.<\/p>\n<p>The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty\u2019s Equality Under the Law Project is representing Bruckner and Project Management Corporation in the lawsuit. According to a press release from WILL, the project \u201chas successfully sued the Biden Administration twice for race discrimination in the Farmer Loan Forgiveness Program and the Restaurant Revitalization Fund\u201d and \u201cforced the removal of race-based preferences in the Homeowner Assistance Fund, another program under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.\u201d <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Olivia Hajicek is an intern at The Federalist and a junior at Hillsdale College studying history and journalism.
